AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
819 PM EDT TUE AUG 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST
FROM EAST CENTRAL TENNESSEE THIS EVENING TO FAR EASTERN KENTUCKY
LATE WEDNESDAY.  AS THE REMAINS OF FAY MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA...THE
RAIN WILL DECREASE.  HOWEVER...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND...THE CHANCES OF RAIN WILL RETURN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO SIGNIFICANT MID COURSE CORRECTIONS AS OF EARLY EVENING. LOW
LEVELS REMAIN PRIMED FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT SO EXPECT
MULTIPLE WAVES/AREAS OF DEEP CONVECTION WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. COMBINATION OF SHEAR/INSTABILITY STILL RATHER IMPRESSIVE...
PARTICULARLY OVER THE SOUTH...SO THERE WAS REALLY NO CHOICE BUT TO
REPLACE THE TORNADO WATCH WITH A NEW ONE UNTIL WE CAN BE SURE THE
BOUNDARY LAYER HAS COOLED ENOUGH. THE REST OF THE FORECAST ELEMENTS
ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT TUESDAY...THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL DRIFT NEWD ACRS
ERN TN/KY (JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS) ON WEDNESDAY...AS THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO INTERACT WITH AN E-W ORIENTED BNDRY ACRS THE MID
ATLANTIC/CENTRAL APLCNS. SELY LO LVL UPSLOPE FLOW WL
CONTINUE...HOWEVER...THE PRES GRADIENT B/T THE REMNANT LO...AND AN
EAST COAST SFC RDG WL WKN...DECRSG THE AMT OF UPSLOPE FLO BY
WEDNESDAY AFTN. THERE LUKS TO BE ENUF UPSLOPE CONVERGENCE/OMEGA TO
WARRANT A CATEGORICAL POP ALONG THE BLUE RDG ESCARPMENT. THE GFS
DIFFERS FROM THE NAM...IN PUTTING MORE NEG TILT TO THE REMNANT
LO/TROF...WITH A DRY SLOT PUSHING IN E OF THE MTNS BY WEDNESDAY
AFTN. THE NAM KEEPS A STRONGER UPSLOPE COMPONENT AND OVRLL HIER QPF.
I WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE TWO SOLUTIONS...KEEPING LIKELY POP
EVERYWHERE THRU THE AFTN...GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF TO CHC FROM S TO N
WEDNESDAY NGT...AS FAYS REMNANTS CONT TO MV NWD. WITH THE EXPECTED
OVERCAST SKY COVER AND HIGH POPS...MAX TEMPS WEDNESDAY WILL REMAIN
SEVERAL CATEGORIES BLO NORMAL...WITH MIN TEMPS RUNNING NEAR NORMAL.

THURSDAY THRU FRIDAY NIGHT...CLDS CLR OUT...WITH LINGERING UPR SHEAR
AXIS REMAINING OVR THE AREA AND TYPICAL LATE SUMMER AFTN
DESTABILIZATION. I KEEP A SOLID CHC POP ACRS THE NC
MTNS/PIEDMONT...AS INSTBY STILL LUKS GOOD. TEMPS WILL REBOUND CLOSE
TO NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM EDT TUESDAY...WENT WITH LATEST HPC GUIDANCE FOR THE
MEDIUM RANGE DUE TO ACTIVE SHORT TERM AND THE LWR THAN AVG
CONFIDENCE IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS. A NRN STREAM TROF PUSHES INTO THE
GREAT LAKES RGN SATURDAY...WITH AN ASSOC SFC FRONT APPROACHING OUR
AREA FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. A WLY LOW LVL FLOW OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WL LMT THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE FOR THE FROPA. I WL KEEP A SLGT CHC
POP FOR SATURDAY. FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...UPR RDG BLDS IN
OVR THE ERN CONUS...WITH COOLER SFC HI PRES PUSHING IN FROM THE NW.
THE FRONTAL BNDRY IS FCST TO STALL OVR THE CWFA SUNDAY...WITH A CHC
POP PUT IN FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT...AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE GOING TO BE
PROBLEMATIC AT BEST FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS. AT LEAST FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...WAVES OF CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP AND MOVE TO THE EAST...EACH OF WHICH WILL CONTAIN IFR
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY IN HEAVY RAIN. PATCHES OF VFR WILL LURK IN
BETWEEN AREAS/BANDS OF SHOWERS. FOR THE MOST PART...THE MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL SO THAT IS WHAT WAS PUT IN THE TAFS.
AMENDMENTS WILL FEATURE TEMPO CONDITIONS TO DEAL WITH EITHER THE
HOLES OR THE MORE INTENSE CONVECTION. THE SLOW MOVING REMNANT
CIRCULATION WILL MAINTAIN A GENERAL UPSLOPE CONDITION OVERNIGHT SO
DO NOT EXPECT CONDITIONS ON THE WHOLE TO IMPROVE. IT WILL NOT BE
UNTIL THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY WEDNESDAY WHEN WE BEGIN TO BREAK
OUT AND LOSE THE MORE PRODUCTIVE UPSLOPE. CEILINGS SHOULD SETTLE
INTO MVFR BY AFTERNOON AND THEN REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL PERHAPS LATE
IN THE DAY...WHEN SOME SCATTERING OUT WILL BEGIN. THIS WILL NOT BE
INDICATED IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

OUTLOOK...LOW CIGS AND VSBYS MAY RETURN WED NIGHT AS THERE WILL BE
ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE WAKE OF FAY. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH A CHANCE OF MORNING CIG/VSBY
RESTRICTIONS AND DIURNAL CONVECTION EACH DAY.
